Pam vs. Database Authentication
Our vagrant environment defaults to PAM authentication, but is also setup to use database authentication.
To switch, either re-run CONFIGURE_SUBMITTY.py or edit
/usr/local/submitty/config/database.json
and change the
authentication method from PamAuthentication
to
DatabaseAuthentication
.
When using DatabaseAuthentication, Submitty allows users to change their password from the home screen.
